IPOB Sit-at-Home or Public Holiday?

This is actually the question on peoples’ lips, especially those living in Eastern Nigeria. Is it sit-at-home for Nnamdi Kanu on Monday or is it stay-at-home for a public holiday?

When my daughter returned from school yesterday, I asked her if they were told anything about coming to school on Monday. She said the school management will send a message to us if there will be school on Monday.

I was surprised at her response because the school is among the core mission schools. They never observe other religious public holidays other than the ones that concerned their faith.

So, how come they will observe the just newly birth Islamic Hijrah day public Holiday? It is very obvious, some will sit at home to celebrate Islamic Holy week while some will seat at home for the Nnamdi Kanu Freedom protest.

Others still will seat for the fear of what they may encounter on the road on the said day, especially those living in the Eastern States. The question now is; is there truly a Public Holiday on Monday or IPOB Sit-At-Home Order? We will still know.
